San Cristobal Island – Double Digit Striped Marlin Tites

February 11, 2023 was a rare occasion where 8 boats were out fishing the same day.  Most of the time the boat your fishing on is the only boat in sight.  However, the more boats the more fishing reports.  Most boats gathered on Española Island banks.  Vertigo 2 with Peter Santini fished the Honey Hole on Rosa Blanca and got their fill by 12:00 pm and headed back to port.  Santini had 21 raises, 18 bites and released 3 striped marlin and 2 blue marlin around 450# each before the anglers tired out and wanted to head back early.  They also caught a few mahis.

The rest of the fleet fishing near Española Island reported from 20 to 31 raises of striped marlin and a total of 6 more blue marlin raised.  Effectively over 225 striped marlin were raised and 8 blue marlin.  All boats reported action from nice mahi ranging from 10 to 35 pounds.  Lots of bait on the banks with marine life pushing sardines to the surface at times.

Folks if you have been hesitating about booking a trip to the Galapagos Islands then there is no better time than now.  We still have a few dates and boats open to fish the rest of the year.  Our incredible striped marlin bite is year round but it really is happening now if you want to take advantage of it.  The warmer 79/80 F waters is bring blue marlin and mahi quite commonly.

The Galapagos Islands offer a safe, no crime, worry free and wild environment to experience with friends and family.  Besides the incredible striped marlin fisheries from Santa Cruz and San Cristobal Islands you also have the giant blue marlin fishing out of Isabela Island which by size of fish is second to none.  Enjoy the snorkeling, diving, exploring, horse back riding, island hopping and more tours.  We customize your experience from start to finish.  Come see what the Galapagos is all about.
